Presenting

Once you’ve done the research, putting a poster together and getting ready for the
three-hour event takes some planning.

Check here for tips on making and printing a great poster, where and when to set up
your poster, what to wear, taking breaks to view other posters, and free food and
drinks at the event.

Posters

Types and Sizes

You have a choice of displaying your poster on a flat display board (flat poster),
or using a tri-fold poster board set on a table. Templates are available for various
sizes of posters. See Posters for more information.

Printing

Hope College students, faculty and staff can submit posters for printing to Campus Print and Mail Services for general, academic and research purposes. Use the Research Posters button under New Orders for printing your research poster for the Celebration. See Printing for more information.

Setting up your Poster

Poster Location Assignments

You will be assigned a location to present your poster in DeVos. We publish two lists for you to find your location number: one sorted by
departments and project titles, and the second sorted by presenter names in alphabetical
order. Once you find your poster location number, check the map of DeVos, linked below,
to see where your location number is.

You may set up your poster when it is convenient for you, given the above time frames.
All posters should be set up by 2 p.m., Friday, April 15th, to be ready for the start
of the event at 2:30.

Note: Tri-fold poster boards are available to pick up at Media Services Center, 2nd floor Van Wylen Library. Please
use these tri-fold boards that the college provides, instead of purchasing your own.
You can direct your poster to be printed at the library when you submit your poster
to Campus Print and Mail Service, and then pick up the tri-fold board when you pick
up your poster. You may use the large paper cutter at the Media Center to cut your
poster into the tri-fold sections before taping them on the tri-fold board. There
is also double-sided tape for your use at the Media Services Center.

Name tags and Programs

A registration table will be at the west (clock tower) entrance of DeVos, where name
tags and program booklets will be provided. The program booklet includes the poster
location numbers and a map of poster locations in DeVos.

What to Wear

Please dress in business casual. For men we suggest dress pants or khakis and a shirt with a collar. For women we suggest
dress pants or knee-length skirt and a blouse or shirt with a collar. Jeans, yoga
pants, athletic clothing and short party dresses are not appropriate. Please wear
comfortable shoes, since you will be standing by your poster for the majority of the three hours. You will be representing Hope College to prospective students/parents/donors and the
Holland community.

Viewing other Posters, Free Concessions

Feel free to take a couple of 15-minute breaks during the event to view other students'
presentations and get a snack from concessions. If you have multiple presenters on
a project, rotate among yourselves so your poster is staffed at all times. Single presenters should be mindful not to leave their poster when the presenter next to them is absent if possible.

Free concessions will be provided on the upper concourse for all who attend.
